Glass Tiles
Glass tiles create a shimmering effect and illuminate kitchens, bathrooms, pools, and feature walls. Their non-porous and moisture-resistant surface helps prevent stains, water absorption, and easy buildup of dirt. Available in different colors, sizes, patterns, and finishes, glass tiles reflect light to make spaces appear brighter while providing a clean, modern look.

About Glass Tile
Glass Tile Properties
Zero Absorption
Glass takes on no water at all, so it never needs sealing, never harbors mold in its body, and is fully rated for submerged pool use.
Fused Color
The color is fired into or behind the glass. It cannot fade in sunlight or wear off, even in chlorinated water.
Light Transmission
Light passes into the tile and reflects back, a depth no opaque surface matches. Backsplashes read brighter with the same bulbs.
Simple to Keep Bright
A non-abrasive cleaner and soft cloth restore full shine; there is no sealing schedule, ever.
Glass Tile Sizes and Formats
Classic 2 x 6 and glass subway tile bring color to kitchen walls in the most forgiving pattern there is. Sheet-mounted hexagons, chevrons and penny rounds cover curves and shower floors, while interlocking mixed sheets blend glass with stone and metal for texture that ties a room's finishes together.
Glass Tile Colors
Whites
Bright glazed and frosted white glass keeps galley kitchens and small baths feeling open.
Greys and Silvers
Smoky grey glass pairs with stainless and marble looks in modern kitchens.
Ambers and Golds
Warm gold glass glows under pendant lighting, a natural above wood cabinetry.
Best Applications for Glass Tile
Pools, Spas and Water Features
Glass is the premium pool finish worldwide because chemistry cannot touch it. Waterline bands, full-pool fields and spa interiors keep their color for decades; verify your setting materials are rated for submerged use.
Kitchen Backsplashes
Grease wipes off a glass backsplash with a single pass, and the surface bounces daylight deeper into the room. Glass backsplash tile earns its keep in hardworking kitchens.
Bathroom Walls and Accents
Glass wall tile turns shower niches and feature strips into points of light. Pair a glass accent band with stone field tile for contrast in texture and sheen.
Spa and Steam Rooms
Steam, heat and humidity cannot reach into a material with zero absorption. Glass walls keep spa rooms bright and mold has nowhere to root.

Installation Tips for Glass Tile
White Thinset, Full Coverage
Glass is transparent enough to show what is behind it. Bright white mortar, spread with full coverage and no voids, keeps the face flawless.
Non-Sanded Grout
Protect the polished face by grouting mosaics and closely spaced glass with non-sanded or fine-aggregate grout.
Score, Do Not Chip
Cut glass with a wet saw and a glass blade, or score-and-snap on small formats. Rushed cuts chip the edges.
Grout Gently
Non-sanded grout protects polished faces; strike joints evenly so light plays cleanly across the surface.
